² And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep -- a great weeping,

³ and say, `Why, O Jehovah, God of Israel, hath this been in Israel -- to be lacking to-day, from Israel, one tribe?'

⁴ And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the people rise early, and build there an altar, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
